North Korea's Kim Jong Un told his top military officers to "annihilate" South Korea and the US should they initiate a military confrontation, state media reported on Monday (Jan 1).

Kim's comments echo his threats made during year-end party meetings of a nuclear attack on Seoul and orders for a military arsenal build-up to prepare for a war that he said could "break out any time" on the peninsula. https://cna.asia/4aByq4B
